              Most of these apps have located their servers in china, So Indian Govt does not have any way to block these apps. they can only ask google and apple to stop showing these apps in india on their stores. But it will boost apk downloads. So only way they can block these apps is to REQUEST chinese apps to stop operating in India. The move is surely political to fool indian public.

                Apkmirror website is still live.

                  But what does banning them mean exactly? Will they be uninstalled from the current phones and disappear from play store?

                      In fact Google, through the play store, should remove those apps from their platform. These chinese manufacturers are going too far with collecting user data. I wished that my greedy government would follow suit and act.

                            All in Chinese, so don't understand. If in India do what the Indians do.

                              What about the costom UI by chineese brands?
                              Its full of their own apps. From launcher to browser.

                                  Good. The rest of the world should follow suit and stop China's government-backed spying on foreign soil.
